6 GHz Horn Antennas With Wideband Performance
6 GHz Asymmetrical Horn WB Antennas are designed to cover both 5 GHz and 6 GHz unlicensed bands. They provide unique asymmetrical beam shape and are equipped with our proprietary game-changing TwistPort™ waveguide connector. 6 GHz Asymmetrical Horn WB Antennas are the evolution of breakthrough award winning 5 GHz Asymmetrical Horn TP Antennas. They provide substantial improvements in wideband performance, new features and brand new industrial design.
Asymmetrical Horn WB Antennas provide excellent noise rejection, network scalability and throughput increase in more than a 2.000 MHz wide band of operation(!) which is unheard of. Asymmetrical Horn WB Antennas re-define sector antenna performance for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISP) networks.
Future Proof: Covering both 5 and 6 GHz Unlicensed Bands!
6 GHz Asymmetrical Horn WB Antennas provide more than 2,000 MHz wideband of operation covering whole 5 and 6 GHz unlicensed spectrum! Such a wide working band provides high level of investment protection and flexibility in terms of future deployments.
6 GHz Asymmetrical Horn WB antennas excel for wideband application requiring both 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands to be covered by a single antenna. Just pair them with appropriate wideband TPA feed and you will get the best horn antenna on the market.
New 6 GHz WB horn antennas also provide great performance when paired with any of our narrowband 5 GHz or 6 GHz TPA. This versatility makes them a future proof investment covering deployment scenarios in both 5 and 6 GHz unlicensed bands.
Unique Asymmetrical Beam of the Horn Antenna
6 GHz Asymmetrical Horn WB Antennas have unique beam shape. The beam cross-section in bore sight is elliptical: it is wide in azimuth and narrow in elevation plane. This beam shape provides wide coverage pattern with increased antenna gain. The beam shape reminds one of a standard automotive fog light.
Virtually No Side Lobes
6 GHz Asymmetrical Horn WB Antennas have naturally depressed side lobes: they focus substantial part of the energy into a single main beam. The side lobes are either absent or attenuated to the point they are "invisible" for WISP radios. Elimination of side lobe radiation enables excellent noise immunity of 6 GHz Asymmetrical Horn WB Antennas and unlocks for the new levels in network scalability, cluster density and channel repeat.
Unique Coverage Pattern
Mainstream patch array sector antennas have radiation pattern extremely wide in azimuth and extremely narrow in elevation plane. Increased gain is often attractive for WISPs, but such an extreme beam pattern provides multiple disadvantages in most of the deployments. Increased gain in a very wide beam with additional array inherent sidelobes opens for collecting of increased amount of RF noise. Vertically narrow coverage pattern brings also challenges with null fill. If an AP is deployed on an elevated tower, customers too close to the tower suffer from low AP signal level. Asymmetrical Horn WB Antennas provide best of both worlds: valuable extra degrees in elevation beam width are shrinking the null zone while preserving increased gain for long range performance.
Breakthrough Scalability
RF elements® 6 GHz Horn Antennas provide extraordinary scalability options. WISPs can multiply throughput with dividing wide sectors into multiple narrower sectors. RF elements Horn antennas are essential part of any WISP tool box.
TwistPort™ Connector
6 GHz Asymmetrical Horn WB Antennas feature feature our industry-changing TwistPort™ connector, a proprietary quick-locking waveguide port. TwistPort™ is virtually lossless: with radios built according to our Reference design, there are no coaxial RF connectors or RF cables that cause measurable signal loss. Connecting TwistPort™ is brilliantly simple - “twist and lock” - all done with one hand! Wide set of TP Adaptors (TPA) allow to connect third party radios.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: 5 GHz and 6 GHz!
6 GHz Asymmetrical Horn WB Antennas can be used with any radio with RF elements TwistPort™ 5 GHz or 6 GHz male interface, as well as with a variety of third-party radios connected through a 5 GHz or 6 GHz TwistPort™ Adaptor (TPA).
Revolutionary Industrial Design
The New 6 GHz Wideband Asymmetrical Horn Antennas are designed like no other antenna product. We use marine grade sheet metal aluminum for antenna construction. Sheet metal is precision cut to shape and formed using combination of high precision stamping and high precision welding in highly innovative proprietary manufacturing process never used before in antenna industry. Antennas are powder coated for increased environmental resistance, unobtrusive appearance when deployed on buildings and for esthetics.
Built To Last
6GHz Asymmetrical Horn WB Antennas are built to endure in the harshest environment. We considered customer feedback and designed the 6 GHz wideband Horn antennas using high corrosion resistant materials. To ensure superb durability in outdoor deployments even in the harshest environments we use marine grade aluminum sheets as the base material instead of cast aluminum. Along the aluminum sheets we use extruded aluminum, corrosion resistant zinc alloy, and high quality ABS plastic. All materials guarantee superb environmental resistance of 6 GHz Asymmetrical Horn antennas.
We pioneered the use of stainless steel hardware in WISP industry and this product line is no exception. Stainless steel hardware has black surface coating to prevent galling.
Antenna Models
Asymmetrical Horn WB series features three different antennas with beam widths of 45, 60 and 90 degrees in the azimuth plane.
